In August 1938, Druschel was posted to <i>Fliegergruppe 20</i>, which, after combination with <i>Fliegergruppe 40</i> was renamed II.(Schl)/<a href="/wiki/Lehrgeschwader_2" title="Lehrgeschwader 2">Lehrgeschwader 2</a> (LG 2) on 1 November 1938. </p><p>Druschel served with 4.(Schl)/LG 2 during the invasion of Poland and the battle of France, flying the <a href="/wiki/Henschel_Hs_123" title="Henschel Hs 123">Henschel Hs 123</a> biplane.
